G9a-mediated methylation of ERα links the PHF20/MOF histone acetyltransferase complex to hormonal gene expression

The histone methyltransferase G9a methylates histone H3K9 to repress gene expression, but it also acts as a coactivator for some nuclear receptors. Here, Zhang et al. show that methylation of ERα by G9a recruits the PHF20/MOF complex that deposits histone H4K16 acetylation promoting active transcrip...

Sumario:The histone methyltransferase G9a methylates histone H3K9 to repress gene expression, but it also acts as a coactivator for some nuclear receptors. Here, Zhang et al. show that methylation of ERα by G9a recruits the PHF20/MOF complex that deposits histone H4K16 acetylation promoting active transcription.
